UICCU Has Great Customer Service

My 4 year IRA CD just ended and I put most of the money in the new 2% for 25 months CD which is available as an IRA. The IRA dept. has given me great customer service. No complaints at all. I haven't lived in Iowa for many years but was able to join because I am an alumnus of Univ. of Iowa.

University of Iowa Community Credit Union

After becoming fed up with US bank's terrible interest rates and unwillingness to offer me a competitive rate on refinancing my mortgage, I turned to University of Iowa Community Credit Union. I filled out a form and was contacted the next day regarding what they could offer on a refinance. It was a great deal so I went ahead with it. This provided me a great opportunity to move my checking and savings accounts to UICCU. They offer a "Premium" checking account that offers 2.25% interest (APY) if you meet several criteria, including having an ACH deposit and using your debit card at least 12 times a month. That was far greater than the 0.01% interest US bank was offering.After telling the officer I wanted to set up checking and savings accounts, he put me in contact with their accounts person. UICCU did all of the work for me, and all I had to do was go in and sign a few documents and receive my debit card. They allowed me to go to the closest branch to sign the documents. Since getting the checking account, I have used it to get great interest every month. I also recommended a person get the premium checking account, which got me a $50 bonus.

Not So Rewarding Checking

While the U of Iowa Credit Union currently has some of the best rates available for their Rewards Checking account, beware of all of the hoops they make you jump through to get that rate. One of the many stipulations is using the account's debit card 12 times a month (a reasonable request). However, I've now been burned twice by slow posting transactions that mysteriously happen at the end of the month. This is blamed on the merchant of course, despite the fact that the credit union processes the funds hold the moment the card is swiped. Their customer service rep actually credited the lost interest to my account the first time this happened about a year ago. Unfortunately, the customer service rep I encountered this time was rude, snappy and lectured me about how the banking system works (thanks, but I have Google too). Therefore I decided to exercise what little power we consumers have and am sharing this experience with you in the hope that it might help someone else. Bottom line if you have a U of I rewards checking account (or two in my case), make sure your 12 transactions have posted prior to the end of the month so your great rate doesn't drop to near zero for that month.

I would give the account 5 stars for the rate, one star for the Byzantine requirements to get that rate and two stars for the sad state of their customer service, which used to be stellar. At least they picked up the phone quickly.

Worse Banking? Experience

Those people are non professional, dishonest and just want to take your money. I open a checking account and applied for a credit card that they never issued. I've sent all the documents they required to the account executive by mail as she asked. She never replied. Then I've been in her office and she said I was approved and I should get in my mail in ten business days. It never happened. The worst they have been charging me for very different paperwork statement fees, withdrawal fee etc. They made also false promises that I would have $50 rewards using my ATM card a certain number of time as my referral. All those bullshits. I just wanna close my account. Don't go there if you want to save your money and have valuable services. They don't even deserve one star.
